Use the Deployment app to begin the Connectivity test. This checks if the Mesh Gateway can connect with any neighboring Mesh Gateways or Border Gateways.
After mounting the Mesh Gateway, tap Confirm & Start Connectivity Test.
The Deployment app begins to connect with a Border Gateway.
The Mesh Gateway then runs the connectivity test and attempts to connect to another Mesh Gateway or Border Gateway.
If the Mesh Gateway could connect, a success message appears. You can close the dialog and continue deploying the next device or tap Show Device Details.
The Device Details screen appears. You can add additional information in the Notes field such as relevant details about the deployment location.
If the Silvanet Cloud could not reach the Border Gateway, troubleshooting information is provided.
If the Border Gateway could not be reached, the following dialog appears.
If the Mesh Gateway could reach another Mesh Gateway but the signal is too weak, troubleshooting information is provided.
If the Device connectivity is too low, the following dialog appears.
Check the following to troubleshoot connectivity:
Check device orientation: Make sure the Mesh Gateway is oriented towards the sun at 12:00 noon (northern/southern hemisphere). After confirming it is oriented in the correct direction, retry the Connectivity Test.
Wait for the device to be charged: If the superconductors in the device discharged during transit or were stored in a box or backpack, it can take some time to charge the superconductors and switch on. Give the device at least a half-day to charge then retry the Connectivity Test.
Find another location: If after confirming the device is oriented properly and is charged, the Mesh Gateway may be deployed too far away from the neighboring gateways. Move the device 60m (200ft) closer to an active gateway using the network map, then restart the Connectivity Test.
After troubleshooting, tap Confirm & Restart Connectivity Test.
If you have moved the Mesh Gateway to a new location, tap Reset Device to Current Location. If the Mesh Gateway is still in the same location, tap Keep Device Original Location.
With the Mesh Gateway now connected to the Silvanet Cloud, go ahead and continue mounting the remaining Mesh Gateways in the deployment plan.
Review the information provided in for troubleshooting information.
If the Silvanet Cloud cannot reach the Mesh Gateway you are deploying, use the same troubleshooting steps as described in .
